“An absolutely beautiful collection of songs… I was gobsmacked by the quality of the songwriting… accomplished composition and arrangements… 4 stars.” -Arena, RTÉ Radio 1’s Arts Show

“Terrific. Disarming and beautifully crafted folk-pop. Connolly is a witty storyteller and not-to-be-missed songsmith.” -Chicago Tribune

“Connolly’s songs are both sad and uplifting. They’re real. They speak to the goodness in people, that need to do something to make the world just a little better.” – Budapest Times

“Amongst the most vibrant, poignant, and authentic indie folk artists in New York City.” – No Depression

Niall Connolly’s 9th album, ‘The Patience Of Trees’ will be out in Spring of 2023.
